Earl Grey - Border Collie and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Richmond, Virginia

"Earl Grey is such a sweet, fun, and loveable boy! He is extremely smart and loves his favorite people very much. He will be his person's best friend and hiking partner!" - Laura N., one of Earl Grey's go-to volunteers

Earl Grey is a smart, athletic guy with plenty of energy and a playful spirit. He's happiest outdoors - chasing tennis balls, squeaking toys, and soaking up every minute of fresh air (bonus points if there's a belly rub mid-walk).
He'd thrive with:

- An active person or family ready for adventure - hikes, long walks, outdoor time
- A calmer home environment without a lot of constant hustle
- Adults or older teens who have experience with dogs
- A home without cats, where he can be the one and only

Earl Grey qualifies for our Patient Paws special - you name the adoption fee. Come meet him and see if you're the match he's been waiting for. ...
